1961 Lincoln

Up for auction is a beautiful example of the first year Lincoln ever made with the infamous suicide doors. This is a matching number's car with the original engine, trans, and correct paint & interior colors. It has been owned by one other family here in SoCal besides myself and always stored indoors. Less than 3% of all Lincolns built from 1961-1965 were factory black cars and this is one of them (Paint code-A Presidential Black and interior code-20 black/white cloth & leather upholstery). Absolutely zero rust issues anywhere and all original body panels throughout. California car since the early 60's with original Black plates. I have a ton of paperwork and maintenance records including an original assembly manual for the car. The previous owner was maticulous about the maintenance on this Lincoln and kept notes of all the work done to it over the years. Everything works as it should including ICE-Cold A/C, all electrical components, dash guages, wipers, all 4 power windows (new motors just installed), power seat, power door locks, interior lights, cigarette lighter, exterior lights, trunk light, turn signals, ect.. The factory AM radio is the only thing that needs attention, it works but needs new speakers.

The original 430 engine and automatic trans were pulled out back in 2005 and completely rebuilt. The powertrain now has about 20k weekend miles since the rebuild. Starts right up on first key turn and shifts very smooth into all 3 gears. Everything on the rebuild is stock except for an upgraded electric fuel pump that was recently installed and it has also been converted from a stock generator to a new style alternator. I also just had the carburator professionally rebuilt last week. The differential was pulled out and overhauled about 6 months ago as well. Cruises at 80mph on the highway without hesitation and has excellent power for such a large car. Power brakes and power steering work perfect and the car drives with great ease around town.

All the chrome trim is original to the car and in excellent shape. Nothing has been re-chromed, it's just been polished over the years and taken good care of. The interior is nice and clean and the headliner and carpet were just replaced last month. Original glass all around in excellent shape with 5% Limo tint professionally installed. Car was repainted several years ago by previous owner and still looks good. There are some minor paint imperfections and tiny chips from average use over the years but nothing major and as you can see in the pics she still shines beautifully.

The Lincoln has one of a kind custom 20" wheels built specially for the car (they cost $2500). The wheels were made to look very streamline and even the valve stems are hidden on the inside. They fit perfect and have no rubbing issues. Brand new low profile Yokohama tires just installed with less than 1000 miles on them. I still have the original wheels and hub caps and will include them with the car if the new owner wants them.

This car turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever I take it. I often get stopped and asked if it's the car from the movie "In Time". The Lincoln Continental's built for that movie were also 61's and have the same style wheels. Here's your chance to own an iconic American Luxury sedan that will only appriciate in value as time goes on. I have a clean California title in hand ready to be transferred to the new owner.

Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.

Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.

Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.

SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.
